Here's The First Full-Length Picture Of The Fisker EMotion

Five days ago we brought you a series of teaser shots of the new Fisker EMotion, but now the whole thing is out in the open.

This is the first full-body shot of the planned all-electric car, which aims to take-on Tesla at its own game, but given that the company building it was only founded last year, let’s not hold our breath. It’s not scheduled to arrive until 2019 at the earliest and we wouldn’t be surprised to see revisions before then.

To recap some of the numbers – although, again, it’s pinch of salt time – it’s a 161mph sports car with dihedral doors and a target range of over 400 miles. If UK pricing for the $129,900 project follows rough exchange rates, then it’s set to weigh in at around £100,000.

It’s the first of a new range of cars that feature lighter-weight batteries than most other EVs, or so say its makers. A smaller, cheaper electric Fisker will arrive with a price tag of £30,000 or so, if things go well for the EMotion.

What’s more, to help Fisker Inc survive where Fisker Automotive couldn’t, it plans to sell its tech to other companies. High-volume production licensing could make the firm a mint, provided anyone wants to buy it. We don’t actually know of any major automotive group that isn’t already dabbling with its own electric drive.

However, car makers in China and emerging markets elsewhere in the world, with no ties to major European, Japanese or American manufacturers, could potentially see Fisker’s tech as a shortcut to global sales. Whatever happens, the EMotion’s first hurdle is just to do better than the excellent but always doomed Karma.
